The Don Valley Brickworks in Toronto is a pretty interesting place. Among the various exhibits and things to see is this large one depicting the Toronto watershed. The various rivers, streams, creeks and underground rivers are shown flowing through the city. The green spaces or bush areas are the mossy bits on the exhibit, the major roadways are also indicated. Apparantly it's a way more cool exhibit in the summer as all the water parts - rivers, streams, creeks and underground rivers - have water streaming down them.

We felt the effects of Hurricans Sandy on Monday night and into Tuesday - mostly steady high winds with huge gusts. The wind was from the NE, and it produced whitecaps on the lake, which rarely occurs with winds from that direction. We lost 16 trees from the strong winds.

Sunny and I went on a short cruise on the Fortuitous this afternoon between the bouts of monsoon rain we've been having lately. The colour of the leaves have passed their peak, but the birch, poplar and oak trees here on the section of land between Viceroy Road and West Peninsula Road still looks fabulous.
